  1. Unconscious / Implicit Bias The fact that unconscious bias works against certain groups particularly at the recruitment stage of the employment cycle has been proven. In late 2009 The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) commissioned the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) to carry out a study to collect factual evidence to test the assertion that discrimination is a significant factor affecting labour market outcomes for members of ethnic minorities. They conducted a CV based research which showed a discrepancy in positive responses if a candidate sounded like he or she had a „White‟ name as opposed to an ethnic minority sounding name. If a white candidate got a positive response for every nine CVs they sent out, a BAME candidate only got a positive response after they sent out 16 CVs.
